[QUOTE="kicker06, post: 2439563, member: 567398"] When you think about it, does a system pull that much juice out of the battery that the alternator doesn't have enough time to charge it to get ready for the continous current pull? I don't see how voltage drops and a low voltage could be caused by an alt not being strong enough. So does upgrading from like the stock 10awg wire to the 1/0awg wire actually help that much? Doesn't the battery have enough capacity to give power to the amp? Because when the battery is being drained from the amp's current pull the alternator imediatly charges the battery back up to full strength, right? I'm pretty much a noob when it comes to this stuff and am wondering why a Big 3 and a larger battery would matter in the electrical system. I [B]KNOW[/B] it helps but why. heres a pic of my engine bay to help... [IMG]http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/6282/engineqb5.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
